Why is it I who must suffer in this Why is it I who must bear it alone My eyes grow weary of and sleep I do miss My ears grow weary of the night’s cold dead drone The fears of my mind move before my sight There is not a place to which I can rest I lay and wait in the darkness left by the light My head buzzes with pain a hornets nest Tiss madness I fear that is taking hold I wish to leave pain to fly in sweet bliss A barren waste seems to have the sad world As I lay waiting for deaths cruel last kiss Sleep is but the balm that soothes your hurt mind Favor it for without life is not quite kind

To be without sleep
Why is it I who must suffer in this Why is it I who must bear it alone My eyes grow weary of and sleep I do miss My ears grow weary of the night’s cold dead drone The fears of my mind move before my sight There is not a place to which I can rest I lay and wait in the darkness left by the light My head buzzes with pain a hornets nest Tiss madness I fear that is taking hold I wish to leave pain to fly in sweet bliss A barren waste seems to have the sad world As I lay waiting for deaths cruel last kiss Sleep is but the balm that soothes your hurt mind Favor it for without life is not quite kind
